lyrics

Laura shakes amaretto and gives up a smile, glitter on her collar bones. Is it enough to get a café rat all riled? Her mother always told her, “Every flower’s got to bloom sometime.” And every counter offers concessions, black coffee, red wine. Todd sucks in his stomach and tried not to stare too much at her mouth. Black Chucks squeaking, pleading, speak, man. But nothing’s coming out. His father always said, “A decent poker face will get any boy through life. And only girls hate their bodies, so stand up straight.” Black coffee, red wine. You run the register tape ’til the sun sets and all you’ll wanna do is tear out your eyes. Ride the median out past the multiplex and feel about as ugly as a silicone sky. Every exit ramp’s littered with counter girls, sucked-in boys, bad advice. Let’s belly up and swallow down a river of black coffee and red wine.
